Official summary
Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.
Current law provides requirements for the renewal of identification cards. Generally, persons must appear in person to renew an identification card. This act provides that persons living in nursing care facilities and assisted living facilities may renew their identification cards by mail. For residents of nursing care and assisted living facilities to renew identification cards by mail, the person must be a full-time resident of the facility; submit an application, fee, and notarized statement of eligible facility residency; and furnish all documentary evidence necessary to verify any material change to information listed on the identification card. No person living in a nursing care or assisted living facility is authorized to renew an identification card by mail if the person has renewed the card by mail two (2) times in the last sixteen (16) years, unless the photograph on the identification card was taken more recently than sixteen (16) years ago. If a person is changing material identifying information on the identification card, the person cannot renew the card by mail. The act requires the Department of Transportation to promulgate rules to implement this act. Comments: This act has a split effective date. The provisions authorizing rulemaking are effective immediately; the remaining provisions of this act are effective on July 1, 2026.
